"Quick clone" in Painter (under file menu) was used to make the left image. We can now pronounce artistic skill
obsolete and irrelevant. All one needs is an eye and a hand. The only significant artistic choices left are subject matter, the only artistic skill used here is for brushworking.
I was trying to figure out how John used a brush tool to make an underlying photo appear stroke by stroke as demo'd in our first class. The method created a remarkable simulated painting in short order. I couldn't figure it out but in the process, while experimenting with ideas, I created this image by painting on a layer (~50% opacity) over a layer with the photo image. This eliminates the step of having to sketch out the image first, reducing the skill-set needed to create this kind of product. Here we see results from color choice and placement, brush size and type choices, brush stroke and style.... the need to be able to see and draw is largely eliminated with these tech tools.
